“Michelle is the most dedicated dog sitter! She is attentive to every need/want our Gracie had. We will definitely reach out to her again. She also takes and sends the most beautiful pictures and videos. Thanks so much for taking care of our Gracie.”
“Kim did a great job watching the boys and tending to their mischievous adventures climbing into the rafters.?? She stayed at the house and showed great respect for my space. I will definitely book her again.”
“Karla has taken great care of my greyhound Karl and cat Benny multiple times. Our house is in great shape when we return, and the boys seem very happy and relaxed when we return home. I highly recommend her!”
“Isabel is fantastic with my two big dogs! They have various health concerns and lots of energy, and she made us feel so comfortable with all the great updates/photos while staying at our house for the long weekend. Not only is she a wonderful house guest, we can tell how much our dogs truly enjoy spending time with her!”
“Maya was exceptionally caring with our 2 dogs and continued training and extra attention for our 3 month old puppy. Maya was totally responsible as a house sitter and communicated with us frequently throughout her stay. I would highly recommend her for any pet needs.”
“Kaitlyn was great with my girls and house! Everything was just the way I left it. 5 nights 6 days. She sent updates and pictures everyday. I have a reactive dog and a 14.5 year old diabetic cat. She loved/s them and kept them happy, safe, and comfortable while I was away. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“My dog Lyla loved having Bri stay at the house for three nights. Bri was great! She provided updates twice a day with photos to let me know how Lyla was doing. Lyla is easygoing in the home but can be a little wild and reactive on walks. Bri followed all instructions to a tee. I will definitely be reaching out to Bri again the next time I book travel. Thanks Bri!”
“Noah is the best cat/house sitter in the world. He was so communicative, respectful and treated my cat like his own. My cat loved him and was absolutely living for all the love, care and company Noah provided. I know my cat is just waiting for me to leave so he can hang out with Noah again - and I will never hesitate to do so. I got such great updates from Noah, and felt like I was there with him and my cat, it made being away from my furry buddy so much easier. Thank you Noah!!!”
“I don't even know where to begin with how wonderful Ariel is! She took amazing care of our handful of a dog for 4 days while we were away and went above and beyond! She was very respectful of our home, which she offered to stay over to give our dog more company. She was very informative and communicating with me about everything from his feeding, bathroom breaks, and hours so would come and go. She asked great questions and genuinely cared about caring for our dog and interacting with him. I would highly recommend using Ariel for your pet sitting needs. I hope to be able to have her watch our dog again before the end of summer. 5+ stars for Ariel!”
“Christine was fantastic! She sent so many updates and always answered very quickly if I had questions. She had my pups the entire weekend and took such amazing care of them! Beaux is a little nervous and unsure around new people and she was very patient with him!”
“Grace is lovely. She spent approximately 10 days at our home house sitting for our 2 senior Yorkies. She followed their care plan and kept in touch with us daily. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thanks Grace!”
“Zoe took great care of our pets, followed their care instructions, sent plenty of photos, and left the house in good shape too. We know our dog and cats enjoyed being under her care and were happy & healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Thank goodness for Nicola. I'm a hard working single mom and needed the right person to take care of my three doggies. They can be a hand full at times, of course. I don't trust many people to be able to handle my pack of love bugs but Nicola did it all AND SOME. The most important feedback I can give is that she is extremely trust worthy and I would reach out any day of the week for overnight help with my doggies. Thanks you!”
“Emma was amazing. She took such great care of the pets and house. The videos and photos were so nice to receive and I knew my dog and cats were in good hands.”
“Olivia was terrific! she came early to my hotel where I was visiting for a Brown university event and she took very loving care of my Doggie while I went out for the night. I highly recommend her!”
“Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.”
“My dogs loved Anna so much that I think they were disappointed I came home. We have a complicated schedule (daycare for 1 dog with very specific hours) and medical needs (2 meds for the elderly gentleman) and Anna juggled it all for us. So appreciated!!!”
“Elena was great! Easy to communicate with, detail-oriented, took photos (which I always appreciate!) came through in a pinch when my travels were unexpectedly extended. Thank you Elena!”
“Heather was excellent! She has a very positive and cheerful personality and connected with my puppy right away. By the time my husband and I left, Lexi was already playing with her. Heather sent us pictures while we were out and kept us informed.”
“Monica is wonderful. She is loved by my dog and when she stays at my home it feels like a family member caring for my dog. She clearly loves my dog and her professional approach to the business end (schedule, communication and med management) gives me such piece of mind when traveling.”

Julia is the BEST dog sitter! Our two dogs not only love her but get to do all sorts of fun things with her that we don’t do (more walks, new places, etc). She sends frequent updates accompanied by wonderful photos. In addition, she’s a super trustworthy and reliable house sitter while caring for the pups. We always feel secure in the knowledge that Julia provides safe and loving care. Recommend 110%!
This was my first time using Angela to house and dog sit while I went away for a quick one night trip. She was delightful to work with. Very kind and friendly and attuned to my dog, Penelope’s, needs. Communication was excellent leading up to and during my time away. She sent lots of pictures and videos of Penelope, which I always find comforting while separated. She even brought her dog (after a meet and greet to see if they were compatible) so that Penelope had a playmate. It looked like they had a wonderful time together. Not sure Penelope even noticed I was gone. Angela left the house nice and tidy and put on some soothing nature sounds for the hour Penelope was going to be alone before I got home. She also made brownies and left some for me when I got home. Penelope and I are both looking forward to our next Aunty Angela stay!
Katie is a very communicative, attentive, and caring sitter! She housesat for us and took great care of Moose, who has a somewhat complicated diet/medicine regimen. We never doubted that he was in great care. Would definitely recommend Katie and use her services again!
Kristine is amazing. She is friendly, very accommodating, and knowledgeable about pets, their behaviors. and pets care. Kristine is great with my two very different and very “personalitied” pups. She is very responsive to messages re booking and incredibly communicative during visits and sittings. Kristine is an incredible overnight guest. I never worry about my pups or the house when traveling. I cannot recommend Kristine enough.
Virgelica was the best! She cared for my turtle & cat while we were both away. They can both be finicky pets but she did great with them and kept me up to date. The two of them are happy as can be since I returned home. I had tech issues while I was away and wasn't able to access the rover app frequently -- I'm glad rover provides a phone number so we could keep in contact that way. Virgelica was diligent, had great communication, and both of our pets happy! Would recommend her to anyone.
Joanne is AWESOME!!! She watched my Mabel for about a week and I could not recommend her more. She’s super responsive on messages, and sent me a pic of my pup every day I was away with a little update too. She actually asked about this in advance - making sure she adjusted her communications to the needs of the owner (me!)
This was our first time ever using a house and cat sitter, and it was also for a 2 week family vacation over the holidays—so we were understandably a bit nervous. Devorah was a joy to work with and put our concerns to rest immediately. She followed our instructions completely, provided excellent communication throughout our trip and offered regular updates with pictures that gave us complete peace of mind. When a snowstorm occurred, Devorah handled it calmly and professionally. We came home to a house that was left beyond expectations and very happy cats. We truly could not have asked for a better first experience and would absolutely recommend Devorah without hesitation.
Molly was simply the best! After a one-week vacation, we arrived home to two content, well-cared for cats and a clean, well-cared for apartment. We felt completely at ease knowing Molly was caring for our cats, she was super responsive, and we got daily updates and photos. Not only would we love to have her again, we fully recommend her!
